I thought of stand up..er..sit down comedy..

(kind of a gallows humor, I'm in a wheelchair!)


Old favourites..
George Carlin ...and no-one mentioned Richard Prior?
All the ones mentioned are good, but I didn't see Dennis Leary.

I love stand up comedy,the more sarcastic the better!My all time favourite is George Carlin.What makes him so funny is his unpredictable approach.He can be highbrow one minute and rolling in the gutter the next.After that my next favourite type are ventruliquist acts.

I do like stand-up comedy, but unfortunately most of the comedy clubs allow smoking so I won't go. When it's so bad that even the performer's eyes are watering, that's BAD. I've had to walk out of comedy shows because of the thick smoke (and I wasn't alone). So, until the venues are smoke-free, I'm not going.

The bars in Ontario, Canada (and most if not all of Canada) are smoke free now. Now we can laugh and not worry about coughing up a lung.

Of the ones mentioned already I enjoy George Carlin, Robin Williams and Dennis Leary. I also love Kevin Smith aka Silent Bob! Funny down to a science! Oh another one I used to enjoy was Eddie Murphy - Delerious was my favorite. GI Joe in the bathtub, lmao just thinking of it.
Also really enjoy(ed) Mike Wernke (sp?) (Christian comedian that supposedly pretended to be an ex-Satanist and now many of his Christian fans are mad cuz he didn't use to worship Satan afterall - WTF??? So what I say? It made 'em listen for a while didn't it? ) I'd still go see him perform live again.
Sometimes I watch the Comedy Network's Just For Laughs. I can't say I enjoy every comedian that they showcase but there've been a few that made me laugh until I couldn't see through my tears. I'm not great at remembering names - better at faces.

It is so funny how people get worked up over life's little inconsistencies.

Yeah, I love COMEDY. I have been doing stand-up since kindergarten.

You know what bugs me? All the posts on here are from hot Canadian chicks. WTF?

I'm pathetic in the fact that I am a complete stand up comedy addict. I cannot live without it, I go through withdrawls.
I all but worship George Carlin, JOhn Pinette, Richard Jeni, Tim Nutt, and Dennis Leary. THe Blue Collar Comedy Boys are an inspiration, and I think that any self respcting Canadian Stand-up COmedy lover should have heard That Canadian Guy AKA Glen Foster at least once in their life time.

Have any of you ever heard or seen Lisa Lampanelli? This woman is not discriminatory in who she makes fun of! A real riot! She crosses every so-called "politically incorrect" line and makes you laugh till you cry! Probably the best female comic I've ever watched. And, since I'm from Missouri and it's practically a law here, Larry the Cable Guy is hilarious, too! Him and Ron White make the Blue Collar Comedy guys worth watching over and over. The other two guys are funny in their own right but Larry and Ron steal the show!

Don't let Sagets TV persona fool you. As a stand up, he is dirty and really funny.


I've tried to convince ppl of this, and no one believes me!! He is hilarious, I love him.. if you still don't believe it, check him out at youtube.com, I love that site.

My fave comedian is Russell Peters.. god I cry whenever I watch him, he's over the top.
